From: kevin at metalaxe dot com Operating system: * PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Expaned Class constants to accept return of function value
Description: ------------ You can define a global constant based on the return of a function yet you cannot do so for class constants. eg. define( 'MAGIC_QUOTES', ( (bool)get_magic_quotes_gpc() ), true ); Requesting a method to assign class constants in a manner similar to global constants Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class parser { const magic_quotes = (bool)get_magic_quotes_gpc(); public my_stripslashes( $str ) { if( self::magic_quotes === true ) { $str = stripslashes( $str ); } return $str; } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Constant "magic_quotes" to be assigned the boolean value of get_magic_quotes_gpc's return. Actual result: -------------- With boolean cast: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOL_CAST in parser.php on line 4 Without boolean cast: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting ',' or ';' in parser.php on line 4 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39466&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39466&r=mysqlcfg
